Detroit -

what can i say about a place that i had never been to ... which reputation precedes it ... and i was warned over & over to never visit.

1. it's worse than people ever warned about
2. the air quality is apocalyptic
3. i felt the fear of other humans for the real first time ever in my life

so on the third attempt of driving completely out of the city limits (chicking out & leaving) i bucked up returned & rode out the concert event 🤢

i have never seen such abject degenerate living conditions in all my travels.

even the whole foods there was a creepy fear factory

never again - never ever

fyi that was the last big city in this country that i hadn't experienced
& if i thought that -
baltimore sucks
boston sucks
los angeles sucks
new york sucks
detroit is the biggest sucking sound you'll ever hear

God wants me to understand what's happening to my country & the amount of traveling that i do is as good a sponging tool as there ever was that lead

I grew up in the suburbs and lived as an adult in the city proper for 20 years. The decline was rapid. It was so bad that they tore down the projects.

Now I have people coming to me and telling me how FABULOUS it is. All the development and…what ever they consider to be…FABULOUS.

Talking about gow they’re putting in a train system to Pontiac. What for? There isn’t anything in either city for anyone to need a train for.

Don’t get me started on the Bunny Hill they were building on the outskirts of the city.
All a lie! They took the brownfield dirt from the riverfront to build casinos and trucked it to the Rouge River area that had just been cleaned up and contaminated that area again. A MF BUNNY HILL!! IN THE CITY!! WHERE PEOPLE CAN’T PAY TAXES!!

Johnny Knoxville did a video a few years back about the abandoned city of Detroit. Very depressing.

i was so excited to go too ...

i don't know what i was thinking

i love michigan
pictured rocks and the shorlines
i love going to ann arbor and shopping

i'm kinda shell shocked to be honest

and i had never feared humans before this experience (now i do) something's wrong with them

Michigan is great! There are so many places there that no government can screw up.
I stayed away from Ann Arbor, simply because I can’t stand liberals. But all the scenic areas are amazing.
Detroit could have survived a lot of things. Just not Coleman Young and then Kwami Kilpatrick.
Thinking back. I have to wonder if all the federal investigations of Young weren’t just a ploy to keep him in office, not get him out.
The violence was on the rise in the 90’s. Even the females, who weren’t usually violent, became so. Oddly, I was never afraid of the men. 🤔

At this point. Those left in the city, can’t escape. They have been abandoned and have lost hope. Everyone who comes in saying they’re there to help, are there to help themselves to grant money, not the communities.
One exception. Rev Faith Fowler in the Cass Corridor. She’s worked hard to help people for over 20 yrs. Sort of like bailing a boat with a Dixie cup.
